I resumed progress later in the evening.
Still haven’t figured out how to change color on multiple layers at once, so I took a different approach.
Gradient adjustment layer using sepia preset
Discovered various color palette presets
Selected four hues to use for the intermediate palette
Colored over the sepia gradient map, layer set to Hue
Toned down the Hue layer so the sepia still shows
How can I distribute the saturation? Everything has the same intensity of color.
Shower thought: Make a copy of the grayscale layer, and convert brightness to saturation.
Black = Grayscale. White = Full saturation.
I have only pondered this in theory, but have yet to put it into practice. I feel like it could work, though!
Reduce friction as much as possible
I keep getting stopped every so often because I don’t know what to do or where to go.
In particular, merging layers: there are separate keyboard shortcuts depending on if you’re merging clipped layers or grouping a bunch of layers into one.
I don’t like having to press Ctrl+Shift+E. I just want Ctrl+E for either of those actions like I do in SAI2.
Use more stylized colors.
The colors are too intense on the eyes. Reduce the saturation but retain the stylized appearance.
The more stylized it gets, the less room there is for “realistic” shading, but I can play with that.
I’m not yet sure how I want to shade this drawing. Stylized colors call for a different methodology that is not yet clear to me.
